[QUESTION] Any Hybrid Guitar players here? I just put a deposit down and expect it in a few months…

Hey everyone,

I’ve been a huge fan of Charlie Hunter for years. And recently he opened or partnered with a shop in North Carolina (USA) selling guitars (with luthiers Clay Conner and Wes Lambe) and I just put a deposit down on one. It’s called the Big 6. It’s a long scale (30-27, due to fanned frets) guitar with the bottom 3 strings for bass and top 3 for guitar. Looks like this

It’s got two outputs and the pickup is split – so the bass side goes out one output and the guitar out the other. I’m also getting it in his G Hybrid tuning: GCFCFBb. If you haven’t seen or heard Charlie play…hit the YouTube.

I have played bass lines and comped on a standard 6 string, but I’m taking a leap here and a new challenge. I love the grooves he creates and how he solos and still plays bass/groove under his solo.

So does anyone here own one of these instruments? Or into this type of playing?
